FLORIDA BAY shaped like a sure-fire future winner when third at Leopardstown on his recent debut and can build on it to get off the mark here. Dancing Destiny also has better days ahead of her so should ensure Aidan O'Brien's son of Mehmas doesn't have things all his own way. Telegraph Road and Apollo's Comet appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Mudyrk could be expected to race prominently. Of those in the front half of the betting forecast, Florida Bay might be well positioned in a slowly run affair: Of the better-fancied horses, Apollo's Comet is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
